A KNA Pickup Designed for Simplicity and Authenticity
The KNA UP-1 is aimed at musicians who want to amplify their instrument without altering or damaging it. Its compact size, featherweight, and adhesive mounting make it a particularly practical solution for quickly switching from acoustic playing to an amplified setup.
For Which Instruments and Musicians?
Thanks to its compatibility with flat surfaces, this universal piezo microphone suits many acoustic instruments: harp, drums and percussion, and more broadly any instrument that can accommodate an adhesive pickup. It is ideal for stage, rehearsals, quick home recording, or setups where invasive installation is to be avoided.
Passive Piezo Pickup: Precision, Dynamics, and Quick Installation
The UP-1 features a piezo pickup housed in a laminated birch and mahogany body, designed to promote good sensitivity and balanced tonal output. Its passive operation simplifies the audio chain: plug in and play. The included cable (3 m, male 3.5mm Jack to male 6.35mm Jack) facilitates integration with many devices, while the double-sided adhesive discs allow for clean mounting and quick setup without tools.
